Wearable Devices to Assess Effects of Central Nervous Medications on Physical Conditions in Patients With Sleep Problems

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are two common diseases and share similar symptoms such as anxiety, poor attention, and poor sleep quality. However, the evidence toward the association between GAD and OSA is limited. The current study aims to use wearable devices to detect comorbid OSA in newly diagnosed patients with GAD and observe the treatment response and difference in automatic nervous function in GAD and GAD/OSA groups.
